instructions: This manual must be translated (according to regulations) by the dealer, in the language of the country where the
equipment is used. This manual must be read and understood by the user before using the PPE. The test methods described in the
standards do not represent actual usage conditions. It is therefore important to study each work situation and that each user is fully
trained in different techniques in order to know the limits of the various devices. The use of this PPE is restricted to qualified persons
properly trained or working under the direct responsibility of a competent superior. The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy
of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the instructions in this manual. The user is personally responsible for any use
of this PPE which does not comply with the requirements of this manual and in the case of non-compliance with the security measures
applicable to PPE specified by this manual. The use of this PPE is restricted to persons in good health, certain medical conditions may
affect the safety of the user, in case of doubt contact a physician. Adhere strictly to the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and
storage. This product is inseparable from a comprehensive fall protection system (EN363), whose function is to minimize the risk of body
injury from falls. Before any use, refer to the recommendations for use for each component of the system. This fall arrest device is
connected by its handle to the anchor point (EN795). The fastening point (located at the top of the casing) of the fall arrest device is
connected to the anchoring point (EN795) of the structure by a connector (EN362). ▪The end of the strap or cable is connected to a rear
fastening point of a harness (EN361) by a connector (EN362). (The sternal attachment point of a harness will be used only in exceptional
circumstances). To be implemented with the fall arrest device, the connectors (EN362) should have a swivel-type pivoting function. The
fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body grip to be allowed for use with a fall arrest system. The fall arrest device is equipped either
with a retractable strap or cable. The fall arrest devices can be equipped with elements of different endings (EN354 swivel) or different
connectors (EN362). In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual. ▪Certain fall arrest devices are equipped with
a fall indicator function visible on the swivel (see reference table). Some fall arrest devices have special features (see reference table).
▪ OPERATION: When attached to the anchor point above the user, this fall arrest device allows for large vertical movements and large
horizontal movements on a horizontal or inclined plane. During the user's movement phases, the cable is wound and unwound on a
drum. The cable is constantly held tight by a return spring. In the case of a fall, a lock blocks the progress of the cable and instantly stops
the initiated fall. For fall arrest devices equipped with the fall indicator function: a red color appears on the swivel during a fall, or a green
color is not more visible. ▪ TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Lanyard : cable / Rope diameter : Ø5 mm / Materials : galvanized
steel / Breacking strength :>12 kN. ▪ DONNING AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS: It is recommended to assign a fall arrest device for each
user. This PPE can only be used by one person at a time. The fall arrest system will be attached to an anchorage point above the user
(minimum resistance: 12 kN (EN795). Unless otherwise indicated, the fall arrest device should not be used in the "HORIZONTAL USE"
configuration. A pendulum movement can occur during a fall. To limit this pendulum movement, the work area or the lateral movements
must be limited. They should not exceed a 40° angle from the vertical axis passing through the anchor point of the fall arrest device (see
diagram). ④ It is recommended not to suddenly drop the cable or strap when it is unwinding. It is best to accompany it back into the
casing. ② This operation is very important. If it is not respected the cable can go out his guide. ▪ WARNINGS: The device's anchorage
point must always be located above or level with the work surface. ③ A pendulum movement can occur during a fall. In this case, the
force of impact against a structure may cause serious injury or even death. To limit this pendulum movement, the work area or the lateral
movements must be limited. If the work situation requires that these limits be exceeded, the individual anchor point is not the appropriate
device. Use a class C or D anchor device according to the standard EN795:2012 (example: a lifeline) . The deviation of the anchorage
device must be taken into account to determine the required clearance. For this purpose, the information specified in the instructions for
use of the anchorage device must be considered. ►During use, the overall system must not be in contact with: cutting elements, sharp
edges and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh chemicals, fire, hot metal, all types of electrical conductors... ►For safety reasons
and before each use, check: that the fall indicator (located on the swivel) is not triggered (the red colour should not appear, or the green
color is still apparent). that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked / that the operating instructions described for each component
of the system are met / that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement
in the case of a fall. / the vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal
functioning of the fall arrest system. ➪ The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance
H measured from the initial position to the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest). (see table): Ensure that proper fall clearance
exists in order to prevent striking ground or other objects in the event of a fall. (18)(AN180XXY : 3,5m). ►Provide a safe distance from
the ground and the power lines or areas with an electrical hazard.- Usage limits: Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a
rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the operation. ▪ SHELF LIFE: ►Metal products and mechanical products
(self retracting fall arrest device, sliding, work on ropes, anchors etc. ...) : Maximum duration of 20 years from the date of manufacture
(including storage and use). ►The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly: -Non-compliance
